This walk takes you from the railway station of Portrush to the White Rocks Beach and back.

It would be wrong to omit Northern Ireland’s stunning coastline from this list, and Whiterocks Beach in Portrush is one of the best. Not only is it an ideal spot to take the family for a trip to the seaside, but you have every reason to pack walking shoes alongside towels and sandals.

The 2.8 mile coastal route along the cliffs is the kind of place you never really get tired of, whether it’s your first trip or your tenth. If you’re looking for a good reason to pack up the car and spend the day soaking up some fresh sea air, the panoramic views from the cliffs should be all the motivation you need.

While you’re there: Be sure to pop over to Dunluce Castle while you’re in the area. Not only is it one of the most stunning and unique castles you’ll find anywhere in Europe, but Game of Thrones fans might well recognise it as the filming location of House Greyjoy’s stronghold, Pyke.
